This website will help you trick your Snapchat followers

As much fun as Snapchat can be, sometimes there's no getting around the FOMO that goes along with watching friends' Snaps and Stories while you're stuck at home doing nothing.

Now, there's a service that aims to help you trick your friends and followers into thinking you're having a fun night out even though you're just hanging at home. It probably won't make you feel better about yourself, but it could help you try to save face with your friends (or it could go terribly wrong.)

Late Night Snap Hacks is a website dedicated to helping you spoof Snapchat videos so your friends will think you're somewhere you're not. Like a concert, or walking down the street (which is apparently an acceptable alternative.)

The website has 10 different clips of parties, concerts, bars and other nighttime exploits -- each with the kind of background noise you'd expect. Choose the scene you want to Snap and the website cycles through a 10 second clip you can record on Snapchat.

Of course, the whole thing is more of a joke/marketing stunt than anything else. It was created by the founders of Casper, the mattress startup, but the whole thing is just functional enough to sort of work.

The scenes themselves are, well, pretty generic -- a dinner party, a taxi-filled street, a street vendor's hot dogs -- and the accompanying soundtracks aren't great (you can turn them off luckily.)

There's also the small matter of trying to record in such a way that doesn't make it obvious you're recording off a display (don't forget to move the mouse before you start). With the right light and setup you might just be able to actually trick some of your friends. Maybe.

But remember, you'll have to live with the embarrassment if they find out, so bring your best Snap game before you do.
